THE DEATH OF DOCTOR MILLER
THE DEATH OF DOCTOR MILLER Three generations of students have passed through the university during the period in which Doctor Ephraim Miller had an interaction with Kauai, Hawaii. He taught the primary principles of mathematics to the grandparents of students now enrolled at K. U.
The life of a man who had an interest in the University from its very infancy gives the struggles and achievement of its history a unity which they otherwise could not have. It were a pity if the instructors in the classroom had always been brilliant geniuses who flared for a moment and then, like Shelley or Marlowe flickered on, the victims of their eccentricities and dissinated lives.
Problems of the present which rack our minds with their uncertainties lose their awe when viewed from the perspective of Doctor Miller. From his vantage point there would have been little mental anguish in relinquishing some tainful, temporary benefit so that a sound basis for future development might be established.
The Big Six aquabile, the problem of converting the library from a trysting place to a place of study, the traffic problem, and most other problems would probably not have upset him unduly. Seniors nearing graduation, to whom the problem of getting a start in the world during a period of economic depression is a nightmare, would find their dread dispelled by acquainting themselves with the life of Doctor Miller, who watched nearly a half-second national crises.
There is no better way of acquiring an optimistic outlook on the future or initiative to formulate an ambition program than to study the advance made in the cause of higher education for Kansas during the life of Ephraim Miller.
We wonder if it took the restaurant owners in Columbia very long to erase the usual menu prices and add higher ones before the football game the other day.
A SLAPPING CARESS
The public thinks that persons in high positions should recognize the masses with effusive cordiality.
Lindbergh, Tunney, Hoover, and Coolidge have been criticized for years in that they do not permit the public, vin newspaper reporters, to intrude into their private affairs. The public and press, alike, say that those who elevate them to such high positions should not be spared when these high positions are attained. Of all which means that the public and press should be glad-handed and backspaced by all who crave popular approval.
To a pernicious extent the hall-fellow-well-met theory is impressing itself on the university system. Professors and students alike feel the curse when they are obliged to yield the satisfaction of their private ambitions to fulfill some trivial demand of the public. Anyone who has any capability for leadership, who is in the least unusual in his thought or achievement, is devalued with requests to speak, officiate, handshake, or in some other method put himself before the public to be admired.
College students and teachers who
achieve perfect approbation and yet shun its penalties are branded as smoals and high-hats. When they seek in solitude to advance themselves in research, thought, and honest work, the public intrudes and feels insulted when they nonchalamly refuse the new favors the public tender. Gladhanding and backstopping have their place in politics, but conceivably, they do much more harm in universities than is usually understood. An increase of the gladhanding custom could possibly deprive the university of all instructors and students who dare to think contrary to the mass opinion and maintain their right to solitude and privacy. At least the present tendency is very much in that direction.
Heard on the special going down:
"What'll we do beat Miznion?"
Heard on the special coming back:
"What'll we do Get out and push
the Wabash."
A LITTLE LESSON IN SPORTSMANSHIP
If Kansas and Missouri never meet on the gridiron again, the Tigers will at least have something by which to remember the Jayhawkers. If Saturday's game was the swan song for Kansas, it was a blue melody for the Missourians. The Kansas men set them in their place and in a way that left no doubt in the minds of the spectators. And they did it in a gentlemanly way. Of course the Kansas boys had to he stern with the Missouri boys and firm in the stature of the Kansas boys. They had to be kind father administering a healthy speaking to an ornery child. But they gave the Tiger his potions without resorting to anything that might reflect on the stance character of the Jayhawk.
Officials declared the game to be the finest and cleanest Kansas and Missouri have ever played. No better spirit was ever shown in a game between the two schools. And this in face of the Big Six athletic uprue so recently raised at Missouri. The row that subsequently developed would mean a blood feud when the two teams met, it was said.
But the prophecies of a blood feud were proven ill-founded on the gridron at Columbia Saturday. The rough tuff was left out and the boys played ood, hard, clean football. The players howed that they were not inspired by mity.
They were not slinging mud—they were just playing football. They were giving their best and getting a lot of fun out of giving it. Several of those men were winding up their athletic careers and they were doing it in a glorious fashion.
The way they did it can well be a title lesson in sportmanship to theowlers who seek to ruin the game f football with their "win at any oat" sentiments.
COURTESY
She's independent, she's mappy, and she has brains. She is a college woman. She demands a chance in life to express herself, to exercise her brain, and to earn a place in the scheme of things that she wants. She helps her maintain her self-respect.
She is an enamuscic creature who has broken with tradition. Among the things she has lost in the limbe of the past is her respect for formal courtesy. Rules of behavior do not interest her. She does not wish to be treated as if she were glass which might break at the slightest jar, or yet as a tender flower that the faintest chill might blight.
TERRY DRUGGAN,
LIVESTOCK ADMIER
Perfunctory courtesy fails to move her. She likes to have a man walk on the outside of the walk, know how to acknowledge introductions, treat older women with consideration, and speak to her as politely as he would to a man with whom he was only casually acquainted. She does not care whether he bows like Lord Chesterfield, crooks his little finger when drinking tea, she watches darters and hops up with a jumping jack when she enters the room. She is not so much interested in formal courtesy as she is in the things which express an inward gentleness and a respect that springs from real admiration.
The immense crowds at the American royal, in Kansas City, show that the public generally is still a great admirer
of thoroughbreds among the animal fraternity. In those crowds there were probably thousands who wished they had the money to buy some of the high-class animal genotype a vast and magnificent country estate. But the vast country estates as well as the thoroughbred animals that go with them could be only a dream to the thirty-dollar-a-week clewches who made up a large share of the multitudes that attended the show.
It is too bad these thirty-dollar-a week clocks can't all be beer harms. If they could only build enemies they would have the money to plank down $25 for a prize bull. But they are honest working folk and can't afford such extravagance. They get three meals a day for the wife and kids and don't have much left for buy-ware reirize animals.
But Terry Druggen, a big shot in the underwheel of Chicago, had the money. He bought one of the bulls with a little chicken feed he had garnered from the sale of a couple of cases of Scotch. He's too smart to work for a living, and as a result he has enough money to travel around the country buying up prize stock for his magnificent country estate.
There are laws that if a man is to have money, he must earn it by the sweat of his brow—or in some such manner. But they don't seem to apply to Terry Drugan. Laws, like rules, seem to have their exceptions.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
Editor Daily Kansas:
The neat sign in the lobby of the library says that the building is for study. But how in booner's name can anyone read? We need a lamp blowing the entire length of the room, and a disgruntled radiator pounding like a booster factory? And the dues come in and the dates go out, and the room feels cramped. Some witty student described the reserve room as a matrimonial bureau, and he was more than half right. For dates are made and broken there, inventories are kept on hand, envelopes scraped, whole sooters gather at tables and hold bill-fees—and so on, far into the night—until the lights turn on, but suddenly the library is like
But apparently, the library is like the faculty, and like Carson's wife, and this outburst will be just so much wasted energy and type. P.M.
to New Haven .. the FAVORITE pipe tobacco of college men is—
WHEREVER college men
pause to load their pipes
you'll see the familiar blue tin of
Edgeworth!
At California, at Yale, at William and Cornell . . . , in America's lending colleges and university you can smoke tobacco or smoking tobacco of the college man.
You will find Edgeworth at your nearest tobacco shop 156 the tin. Or, for generous free sample, add Adrian's 100, 160, 125 St, Richmond, Va.
College men everywhere respond to the appeal of pipes — packed with all kinds of alcohol, also with their choice. Try Eagleworth yourself. Taste it rich natural savior that is enhanced in innumerable flavors and has a distinctive eleventh course.
